"I can show Adar them! He'll just need to…er…assist me." Caleb said, blushing slightly.
"That sounds good!" Adar said as he walked over to Caleb and picked him up.
"It's happening." Nyt whispered.
(And they haven't got a clue. Their falling in love and here's the bottom line. Our trio is down to two.)
Abby had to bite her lip to keep from laughing as Adar carried Caleb out to the shed. ”So this is what it looks like from the outside.” she noted.
(ROTFL!!!! That killed me!!!!!)
"It does look odd seeing it from the outside. I can only imagine what Peter and Mark thought when they first saw us like that." Nyt said as she watched them leave, surprising not a peep came from Caleb.
”I think it was probably something along the lines of ’Has Abby lost her mind?’ They were still pretty scared of you at the time.” She laughed a little.
Nyt laughed. "Am I that scary?" She asked with her eyebrow raised.
”Not to me.” Abby smiled, leaning against Nyt. ”Kitty cat.”
Nyt leaned into her. "I need to see one of these cats you talk about." She mumbled.
Abby chuckled reaching up to Nyt’s ear. ”I’ll get you a mirror. Though earth cat's are usually smaller than you and are quadrupeds.”
"I look like a cat?" Nyt asked as she touched her ears. "But you said they're cute. If I look like a cat then why are humans scared of me when they first see me?"
Abby bit her lip, nervously as she tried to think of an answer. ”You do resemble a cat but humans are going to have a hard time seeing that until they get to know you. They’re scared of you because of what happened.” she leaned closer with a sigh. ”I told you that we're an easily frightened species as a whole. … If you learned our history you’d see this isn't the first time we've been scared of something different.”
Nyt nodded. "I understand. We look like something just enough like something on earth but also something so different. Did I get that right?" She asked.
(Got any more plot ideas?)
Abby nodded, ”Pretty much.”
(Not without a time skip. I got a couple of ideas like they all go to the camp and introduce Nyt, Adar and maybe a couple of other Slyvians if you want to the humans. Or the other way around and have a Slyvian tell an official about Abby. Either of those sound good or did you have an idea?)
(Not really. Do you want to do the one with introducing humans to Aliens? Where Nyt and Adar go to their camp?)
(Sure! I’m good with that one.)
(Mind if you start this time?)
(Ok.)
If Abby was nervous about having a small group of humans visit Nyt’s house to hear her peace idea, she was nearly terrified now. She fiddled with her spear as she made sure she wasn't leaving anything important behind. Of course, she and Nyt would be coming back but… They were also bringing a few pieces of Nyt’s collection as a small peace offering like Peter had suggested. ”Please let this go well.” she mumbled into her mask. ”Everyone doing ok?”
Both Nyt's and Adar's tails twitched nervously. So did their ears.
"Are you sure about this?" Adar asked.
"It'll be fine Adar," Caleb said. "Now could you put me down?" He asked as he was being held be Adar.
Nyt's tail curled slightly around Abby, to comfort both Abby and Nyt.
Abby's lips twitched in a small smile at Nyt’s gesture and Caleb’s question. ”Get comfortable, Caleb. He's probably not going to let you go until we get there and I don't know if he’ll put you down even then.” she teased.
”There you are.” Peter waved them over.
"Damn right I'm not," Adar said.
Caleb sighed. "Hey Peter." He said with a wave.
”H- you know what, I'm not even going to ask.” Peter shook his head at seeing Caleb being carried. ”You guys ready for this?”
"Then don't," Caleb said, giving him a look.
Nyt's tail flicked a bit more. "Ready." She said as she straighten herself up.
Adar on the other hand slouched over a bit. "Ready as well." He said as she set Caleb down.
Abby nodded, her knuckles turning white as she gripped her spear.
Peter pointedly ignored Caleb’s look and lead the group into the camp. ”Get ready for a lot of weird looks.”
Nyt nodded. "Should I make myself look smaller or something?" She asked.
"What will probably be the first reactions? And what do we do if it goes wrong?" Adar asked.
”I don't think making yourself look smaller is actually going to do anything.” Abby confessed. ”I’m expecting a lot of confusion and some may actually run and hide in their homes.”
Peter nodded. ”But thanks to the support from that group we brought over, we should be able to avoid full-on panic. No one will make an outright attack on you either as long as you stay close to us. But if things do go south; run. I’ll buy you some time.” He looked at Nyt and Adar. ”The people who have been to your house won't tell where it is but a lot of people know you're close, so I would consider moving if it gets that bad.”
Nyt took a deep breath and nodded.
Adar let out a sigh. "Ready." He said.
Caleb ran his fingers over his knife that was strapped to his side before nodding as well.
